About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage legal technology team building AI-powered software for legal workflows. As a Founding Product Engineer, you will work closely with attorneys and AI engineers to develop core product capabilities and help establish engineering practices as the team grows.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own full-stack product features, from data models to interfaces used by attorneys and clients.

  • Translate legal workflows and review playbooks into reliable, production-grade software with domain experts and AI engineers.

  • Make pragmatic architecture and tooling decisions that support rapid development and future needs.

  • Write maintainable code, improve reliability, and take responsibility for features in production.

  • Help shape engineering standards, culture, and hiring as the team expands.

What We're Looking For

  • Three to four years of professional engineering experience, including experience building and shipping production software at an early-stage company or as a founder.

  • Full-stack skills, including TypeScript and React, a modern backend stack, and relational databases.

  • Hands-on experience building with AI or large language models, professionally or through personal projects.

  • Experience owning features from conception through deployment, making sound engineering trade-offs, and building reliable systems for complex workflows.

  • A completed computer science degree, strong product instincts, and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment with ambiguity and minimal process.

  • Experience with legal technology, contract management, document processing, or working directly with domain experts is helpful.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $140,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
